Attaching a Chassis Ground Connection
Connecting the Cisco ASR 1002-X chassis to ground is required for all DC-powered installations and
AC-powered installation where compliance with Telcordia grounding requirements is necessary.
Caution
The dual-lug chassis ground stud must be installed and all the cards and filler plates must be fully
inserted, screwed in, and earthed to prevent a potential hazard in a telecom line.
Have the recommended tools and supplies available before you begin this procedure.
Warning
This equipment must be grounded. Never defeat the ground conductor or operate the equipment in the
absence of a suitably installed ground conductor. Contact the appropriate electrical inspection
authority or an electrician if you are uncertain that suitable grounding is available. Statement 1024
Before you connect power or turn on power to your chassis, you must provide an adequate chassis ground
(earth) connection for the chassis. The chassis ground lug (two) and the respective screws (four) are
provided in the accessory kit that shipped with your Cisco ASR 1002-X Router.
